FAIR |

Important Exhibitor Information –
Vesicular Stomatitis
Due to positive cases of Vesicular Stomatitis, the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s Division of Animal
Health is asking for your help in stepping up our animal health protocols at the Missouri State Fair.
Exhibitors of hooved livestock (including horses, cattle, swine, sheep and goats) that originate from
an affected county will need to have a veterinarian inspect their livestock within two days of arrival at
the Missouri State Fair to affirm they are free of any signs of the virus.

NMPF urges farmers comment on Dietary Guidelines for Americans |
|
Every five years, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) review and update the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (Guidelines). As part of the
process, the public is invited to comment in support or to object the draft recommendations. This is
the final step before USDA and HHS issue the official 2020 guidelines, which guide government policies
until 2025. The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) is coordinating comments from the industry and
are encouraging dairy farmers to engage. To comment and support the importance of dairy and its role in a
healthy diet through these federal guidelines, go to the
NMPF Action Center here.
